DENVER - Dereck Rodriguez had been inside the visiting clubhouse at Coors Field before Monday. He was 12. His dad, Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez, was in town with the Tigers for an interleague series.

"It's nice coming here and having my name on the locker and not his," Dereck Rodriguez said after the Giants purchased his contract from Triple-A Sacramento to bolster the bullpen.
